When Elijah Dawson Ott came into the world six years ago, born three months early, he weighed just 1.7 lbs and was slightly longer than a dollar bill. Hospitalized at Sacred Heart for four months, his parents Tim and Nellie stayed close by at the Ronald McDonald House, while he fought for life and won. The power of love, the power of prayer ... now a happy and healthy kindergartner, Elijah and his family have much to celebrate. How fitting that this little boy's birthday falls on Thanksgiving!
